TeamNC review (1994 era)
The Nerf Rattler has a very creative design. Despite its unusual shape, it is still a decent weapon. The gun can fire four darts in continuous succession before it must be reloaded. In addition to this, instead of firing the barrels in a clock wise fashion, it fires them in a strange pattern (upper-left, lower-right, upper-right, lower-left). The main purpose of this feature is to confuse the enemy about which barrel will fire next.The main problem with the Rattler is its accuracy. The lever on the back of the weapon is a strange firing mechanism. It makes it harder to steady the weapon when firing it.
The Rattler has been replaced by the Nerf RatchetBlast, which adds a few more features to the Rattler's design.
